Her minder/translator isn’t too bright. She’s already given plenty of signs that she knows enough Vietnamese to have an idea what’s going on, even if she doesn’t know exactly what’s being said.
It looks to me like Kim’s cousin is talking directly to her, knowing (or at least strongly suspecting) that the translator is completely redacting what she’s saying.
According to a Wikipedia page titled “Nike sweatshops”, things haven’t gotten any better since this strip first appeared on May 27, 1997. Nike is still exploiting cheap labor, and in some cases slave labor, from several Asian countries, and ironically hiring descendants of slaves to promote their products.
Today it’s worse with LeBron making 32,000,000.00 a Year just on the backs of slave labor at Nike. He makes 111 million a year across all his deals, King James even skipped attending College going into the NBA out of High School allowing him another couple of years of paydays. He lacks the appeal of other Black Athletes with older White consumers like Bo, Tiger or Jordan with his BLM & defund the Police rhetoric and frankly he is not as attractive as Tiger or Mike or Bo Jackson who launched Nike to the top in the 80’s with the “Bo Knows” Ad Campaign.

He usually translates for visiting Nike executives who don’t bother to talk to workers.

Nowadays Kim could have the same tale with workers in all the countries of the Far East.

Really hope she’s carrying a tape recorder. I stopped buying Nike after the reports first started coming out.

Tiger Woods is more than capable of embarrassing himself.
